.aummER HEAT
HARD ON BABY
No season of the year is so danger-
nus to the life of little ones as is the
summer. The excessive heat throws
the little stomach out of order so
quickly that unless prompt aid is at
hand the baby may be beyond all
human help before the mother realizes
he is ill, Summer is the season when
;'1iarrohoea, cbplera infantum, dysen-
try and colic afe most -prevalent. Any
me of these troubles may prove dead-
ly if not promptly treated, During
the summer the mothers best friend
is Baby's Own Tablets. They regu-
'ate the bowels, sweeten the stomach
and keep baby healthy. The Tablets
are sold by medicine dealers or by
:nail at 25 cents a box from The Dr.
Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville,
Ont.
A SPLENDID RECORD.
Most people know that the Can-
adian Pacific Railway traverses over
eleven thousand miles of country in
Canada, encounters even tropical and
arctic weathers; cuts its way through
the rugged and difficult country along
the shores of Lake Superior; crosses
the endless prairies of the west; and
finally runs through the glories of the
Canadian Rockies where the road in
some places has been hewn out of the
mountain sides under towering peaks;
through great canyons; and in other!
places tunnels and piral rails have to
Ile negotiated, all necessitating care in
operation, But in spite of all these
difficulties the Canadian Pacific has
not killed a single passenger in a
train accident during the past two
years, which is a record Canada can
place against the recent boast of the
Pennsylvania Railroad not having
killed a passenger in three years.
Especially so when it is considered
that the latter road has not the same
climate conditions to face and the
easy country through which it tra-
rerses.
DE W ET'S TRIBUTE TO FRENCH.
Many tributes were paid to Sir
Torn French for his brilliant work
luring the South, African war, but
meld he ever be induced to confess as
ouch, he would doubtless admit that
that which pleased him most was the
praise bestowed upon him by the
Seers. It has been recorded that
when towns or railway stations were
raptured our men would find allusions
to French chalked on the wall. Thus:
'We are not fighting the English—
they don't count; we are only fighting
:he 'French: "
Quite early in the campaign this
.ascription was found on the walls of
a Hoer farmhouse: "Why are we
wound to win ? Because ,although we
lave only 90,000 burghers, that means
10,000 generals. But the English,
:hough they have 200,000 soldiers,
have only one general—and he is
French." That was in the days be
:ore Roberts anti Kitchener were on
the scene.
But the Boers were not alone in
their appreciation of French. One of
the authorities of the German general
staff wrote to him: "His (French's)
name was one of the most dreaded by
the enemy," and "he impressed his
personality on the troops."
'The Boers were, indeed, according
'so Mr. Cecil Chisholm, M.A., in his
authentic biography of Sir John
French (Jenkins), the first to admit
lis superiority to the other English
officers if not to themselves. DeWet
gas once asked in the early stages of
the war how long he expected to
avoid capture. He replied, with a
smile, that it all depended on which
general was dispatched to run him
town. When a certain name was
mentioned, the reply was, "Till eter-
Ity." General B— was -next men-
tioned. "About two years," was the
verdict. "And General French?"
"Two weeks" admitted De Wet.
MISCHIEF IY AKER
Now Strong and Robust.
An adult's food that can save a
baby proves itself to be nourishing
and easily digested and good for big
and little folks. An Eastern man
lays:
"When our baby was about eleven
months old' he began to grow thin and
pale. This was attributed to th,e heat
aand the fact that his teeth were com-
ing, but, in reality, the poor little
thing was starving, his mother's milk
riot being sufficient nourishment.
"One day after he had cried bitterly
for an hour, I suggested that my wife
tryhim on Grape -Nuts. She soaked
two teaspoonfuls in half a cup of
warm water for 5 or 6 minutes, then
poured off the liquid and to it added
a like amount of rich milk and a little
sugar. This baby ate ravenously.
"It was not many days before he
forgot all about being nursed, and
has since lived almost exclusively on
Grape -louts. To -day the boy is
strong and robust, and as cute a mis-
chief -maker as a thirteen -months' -old
baby is 'expected to be.
"Use this letter any way you wish,
for, my wife and I can .never praise
Grape -Nuts enough' afte the bright-
ness it has brought to our household."
Grape -Nuts is not made for a baby
food, but experience with thousands
,of babies shows it to be among the
;best,' if not entirely the best in use.
Being a scientific preparation of Na
• tare's grains, it is equally effective as
a body and brain builder for grown-
ups. "There's a Reason."

Ever read the above letter"? A new
one appears from time to time. They
ire genuine, true, and full of human
Interest.
MR. BONHAM-CARTER.
Violet Asquith's Fiance Is Not a
Man of Title.
The engagement of Miss Violet As-
quith, eldest daughter of the British
Prime Minister, to her father's pri-
vate secretary, Maurice Bonham -Car-
ter, will raise hopes in the breasts of
London dressmakers and the caterers
that there will be a big wedding to
produce something to remind them of
the glories of other summer seasons.
Miss Asquith, whose own mother
died when she was a�little girl, is
quiet and retiring by nature, possess-
ing a great deal of the solidarity and
dignity of character which mark her
father. Her fiance, Mr. Bonham -Car-
ter, comes of an excellent family, es-
tablished in the north of England for
some generations, and related to that
of Miss Florence Nightingale. A
great deal of her wealth was be-
queathed to the Bonham -Carters, Mr.
henry Bonham -Carter, her cousin,
having managed her business for
many years.
The Prime Minister's new son-in-
law does not belong to the aristoc-
racy, and therefore can hardly be
Miss Violet Asquith
acceptable to Mrs. Asquith, whose
connections are highly aristocratic.
He is, however, as private secretary
to the Prime Minister, in excellent
training for future distinction.
Miss Asquith remained so long in-
consolable after the death of her first
fiance, Lord Archibald Gordon, a
younger son of the Earl of Aberdeen,
who was killed in an accident' in Ire-
land six years ago, and she continued
her close intimacy with the Aberdeen
family to such an extent, that it was
taken for granted she would never
marry. She has recently been in
Cairo nursing her third brother,
Lieut. Arthur Asquith, who was
wounded in the leg during the opera-
tions at the Dardanelles. Her second
brother, Lord Herbert Asquith, is
home on leave from the Dardanelles,
having been struck in the face by a
fragment of a shell.

THE BEARD.
Many and Curious Are the Styles in
Whiskers.
There is a sort of an unwritten law,
often broken, that army men shall
wear a moustache, naval men to'i be
clean shaven, but, of course, in the
navy especially, there are many ex-
ceptions to this rule. The Worcester
l shire militia claims to have been ..he
first English regiment to adopt the
moustache, in 1798, and to have bor-
rowed the idea from the Austrian ser-
vice.
• Among the Turks, Arabs, and Per-
sians the removal of the beard was,
and is to -day, to a great extent, re-
garded as a severe punishment and
degradation. Moslems, who swear by
the beard of the Prophet and their
own, carry combs about with them to
dress the beard. They perform this
operation immediately after prr--"rs,
remaining- on their knees the w..;le.
The hairs that fall out are carefully
preserved for entombment ,with their
owner when he dies; he himself fre-
quently depositing them in his des-
tined tomb. It is customary among
the Turks, too, to anoint their beards
with perfume, and to smoke them
with incense.
Persian kings used to have their
beards interwoven with gold thread;
the Egyptians only grew beards as a
sign of mourning, but sometimes
wore false beards of plaited hair,
which varied in size and length ac-
cording to rank. Peter the Great
compelled shaving in Russia, and had
the beards of all whom he found wear-
ing them plucked out by the root or
shaved with a blunt razor.
In Greece the beardwas universally
worn until the time of Alexander the
Great, who ordered shaving so that
the beards of his soldiers should not
he laid hold of by their enemies in
battle.
In Rome the first day of shaving
was regarded by the Romans: as the
entrance into manhood, and it was
celebrated with great -festivities.
It isn't what you say, but howyou
say it, that makes a woman either
your friend or your enemy.
"Oh, will he bite?" exclaimed one,
of our sweetest girls, with a look of
alarm, when she saw one of the danc-
ing bears on the street, the other day.
"No, but he can hug." "Oh," she said
with a distracting smile, "I don't
mind that."
ONE POUND LIFE PRESERVER.
Will Keep Afloat a Person of Average
Weight.
Fear of the deadly submarine,
which seems destined tocontinue to
play its part in a long series of sea
disasters, has led steamship officials
to provide every possible safety de-
vice for their patrons.
On many of the great liners still in
service a new life preserver has been
installed. This is called a kapok vest,
the name being derived from its ma-
terial,
Kapok is a silky, flosslike fibre from
Java of extraordinary buoyancy. One
pound of this singular stuff will keep
afloat and well out of water a person
of average weight.
The cork life preservers now in gen-
eral.use are not only cumbersome but
difficult of adjustment in a moment of
panic. Those who are forced to go
to sea are urged , to use them, how-
ever, in addition to the new kapok
vest. It is generally understood that
the cork jacket will be soon a relic
of the past,,hdwever, as the new de-
vice is now recognized as the better
life preserver,

Languor and Tiredness
You don't need to be told how you
feel,—blue, sort of sickish, poor ap-
petite, vague pains, tired in the morn-
ing. This condition is common at
this season.
Fortunately there is prompt relief
in Dr. Hamilton's Pills which Immedi-

Thousandshave been so utterly de-
pressed, so worn out as to be des-
pondent, but Dr. Hamilton's Pills al-
ways cured them. "I can speak
feelingly on the power of Dr. Hamil-
ton's Pills," writes C. T. Fearman, of
Kingston. "Last spring nay blood
was thin and weak, I was terribly run
down, had awful headaches and a
gnawing, empty feeling about my
stomach, I couldn't sleep or work un-
til I used Dr. Hamilton's Pills,—they
did me a world of good." At all

Donald Drew Himself Up.
A gentleman having an estate in
the Highlands, as he was going
abroad for some time, advertised his
shootings to let, and told his game-
keeper, Donald, who was to show the
ground, to give it a good character to
anyone who called to see it, An Eng-
lishman came down, and, inquiring
of Donald as to how it was stocked
with game, first asked if it had any
deer, Donald's reply was—"Thou-
sands of them," "Any grouse?"
"Thoosands of them, too." "Any part-
ridges?" "Thoosands of them, too."
"Any woodcock?" "Thoosands of
them, too." The Englishman, thinking
Donald was drawing the long bow,
asked if there were any gorillas. Don-
ald drew himself up. "Well, they are
no' plentifu'; they jist come occasion-
aIly, noo and again, like yoursel'l"
Tea Coming Into Great Favor.
Not in the memory of the oldest tea
planter has the price of tea reached
before the present figure in Colombo.
There seems to be a widespread move-
ment in favor of tea throughout the
world, and the supply is insufficient
to cope with the increased demand.
Until the law of supply and demand
adjusts itself higher prices for tea
must be expected.
Telling Anexdotes.
A little group of holiday-makers
were sitting round, telling anecdotes.
One girl told a humorous story,
which was received with great appre-
ciation. When the laughter had
ceased her rival said—"My goodness!
That story is at least thirty years
old!" The other one smiled sweetly.
"What a memory you have, dear!" she
said. "Fancy remembering that lit-
tle story ever since you heard it the
first time!"

A Benevolent Old Gentleman.
The usual crowd of small boys was
gathered about the entrance of the
circus tent in a town. A benevolent -
looking old gentleman standing near-
by -watched them for a few minutes
with a beaming eye. Then,walking
up 'to the ticket -taker, he said, with
an air of authority, "Count all those
boys as they pass." The doorkeeper,
thinking that the benevolent -looking
old ••gentleman. was indulging in a
bit of philanthropy, did as requested.
When the last lad had gone in he turn-
ed and announced, "Twenty-four, sir."
"Good!" said the benevolent -looking
old gentleman, as he :walked away. "I.
thought I guessed right."

Disappointed With His Dinner.
A man who was .something • •of, a
gourmet ordered a dinner for himself
and his party which, from the menu,
should have been very palatable, but
apparently it Was not so. Course suc-
ceeded course, and toward the end
of the meal the host could restrain..
himself no longer. He called up the
waiter and expostulated:—"I ordered.
a good dinner, - and we have waited
patiently for some satisfactory dish.
The soup was • a failure, the "fish' was
a disappointment, the entree uneat-
able, and I am sorry to. tell you that
during the whole dinner there has,
been nothing worth looking at."' The
waiter "looked troubled for aninstant
and then brightening 'up said:—"If
